Project Statement

 

Industrialization and modernization have produced an efficient world where people don’t know where their food and clothing comes from or where their waste materials go. I question our search for microbes on Mars, while we fail to notice that fewer butterflies and song birds migrate from Canada to Mexico each year. When habitat disappears, animals disappear. if we set aside national parks for “preservation” of animal specimens, and sell off every acre of available range land at a fair market price, then all of our progress from cave dwelling to space exploration will have been toward failure.

Envisioning the Future took place between September 22, 2003 and February 29, 2004 in the Pomona Arts Colony, sponsored by Cal Poly, Pomona. The project was concieved and coordinated by Cheryl Bookout. Visiting artists Judy Chicago and Donald Woodman facilitated nine teams of artists who created diverse images of prediction, hope, warning, and dred for what the future might be.
